Simferopol, Ukraine (CNN) -- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry accused Russia of making up reasons for intervention in Ukraine, saying Tuesday that "not a single piece of credible evidence supports any one of these claims."

"Russia has talked about Russian-speaking citizens being under siege. They're not," he said while on a visit to Kiev.

He condemned what he called Russia's aggression in Crimea and urged the country to withdraw its troops.

"We would like to see this de-escalated. We're not looking for some major confrontation," he said, while still promising sanctions on Russia if it refuses to step back.

Kerry's comments came a few hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin defiantly defended his country's right to intervene in Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Kerry treks back to his hootch and grabs his 16 mm film camera to recreate his historic meeting with the Russian officials Putin sent because he just didn’t feel the need to be bothered by a horse fly.

FINALLY! A highly successful backward solution to all known problems comes out of the Nobel Peace Prize winning White House!

What is that?,  You may ask? The answer, of course, is unlimited amounts of unfunded US Taxpayer Debt Dollars!

Yup! Works every time, and faster than you can can say IcandoanythingIwantbyjustbyoassingCongress. Nobel Laurette Soetoro-Obama just says: Charge it to the next generation, please! Whoopee! My work here is done! Golf anyone?

Although the always weak, Obamanation Foreign Policy is well on the way to its usual backward success, there are still a few topics that have yet to be resolved, as follows:

* Were is the Internet Video that caused the Ukrainians to force their beloved President to take the entire Ukrainian Treasury with him when he fled the country?

* Will Catchup Kerry enlist the help of famed video detective Susan Rice to help him track down and jail the perp. who made this awful, obscure, unknown video, that the United States had nothing to do with?

* Will the US Department of Statements spend more unfunded US Taxpayer Debt Dollars for the Ukranian Denial Ad than they did for the 2012 Benghazi Denial Ad?

* Note: Kerry must excel here because due to the obvious cruel onslaught of the aging process on Mrs. Bill Clinton, Catchup Kerry may be duty-bound to replace her as the obvious Democrat frontrunner in the 2016 Presidential race.

* Since POS Soetoro-Obama hit the famous RESET BUTTON on Russia, the NASA Space Program has had to be dependent on the kindness of strangers from Russia. Hopefully, our astronauts will be able to borrow food and vodka from the Russians while they wait for Catchup Kerry to resolve this Ukrainian investment.

* Will buddy Vlad Putin be as flexible with the Renowned Obamanation Foreign Policy as Soetoro-Obama was with Putin?

* Rumor has it that Vlad Putin has his eye on being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his defusing of the Syrian Red Line Crisis.

* Another rumor is that Putin could win the Nobel Peace Prize if he sold all of Russias US Treasury Notes, requested that the USA be dropped from the G9, and appointed Snowden to be the Russian Ambassador to the United States of America.

Kerry always loved to call the American Military murderers, so why can't he articulate that here with the Russians? Answer: Kerry and his boss are cowards unless they are picking on those who are defenseless.

“The Crimea will likely become more ... independent, and the Ukraine will not get it back.”

Finally, a leader who calls a spade a spade, concerning the on Maidan happenings in Kiev.

One doesn’t have to “love “ Putin , in order to recognize that he is right in his boots , he knows what he wants and what he does not and tells the things as they are. He does not try to please, but he never throws insults at other leaders as they are doing to him.

All the so-called “analysts “ pundits (we called them
“ sovietologues “ not long ago ) explain that “Putin
wants to remake the USSR” . What nonsense ! Putin does not need more land , when Russia is the largest country in the world . It needs strategic points, and no one is able to prevent him getting them.
-
Let me be clear : Putin does not need to annex Crimea.
It is almost certain that the Russian-speaking population of 88 % will vote Crimea to be attached to Russia in the referendum of self-determination on March 30. Which was valid for Kosovo , Ireland and Scotland, must be true for the people of Crimea. The parenthesis Krustchev ( Crimea attached to the Ukraine from 1954 to 2014 ) , will finally be closed.

Correct my memory if needed, please, but didn’t we send a carrier group to Israel when Israel said they might take out the Iranian nuke plant? And was not the goal to dissuade Israel? I think this was a month or so before Benghazi.

I’m not sure Kerry knows what’s going to come out of Kerry’s mouth 1 second in advance. He’s basically an unintelligent person who a lot of people invested too much into before they realized how unintelligent he is. He was solidified as a power broker for the Rats when he made it onto Nixon’s list.

In my continuing effort to find a silver lining for every cloud, I’ve finally come up with something positive. The old example of incompetence in diplomacy, Neville Chamberlain vs Hitler, has been clearly overused and lost much of its capability to warn modern politicians. Obama/Kerry now gives numerous examples of incompetence and abject failure that will school generations of future students in how not to do things.
